Matthew Lamanque

• Being Agile while utilizing the Scrum Framework as a trained Scrum Master. Additionally, as a Scrum Master, he assisted software engineering and project leadership with optimizing software development processes and mitigating issues inside or between development teams. Worked closely with his team's PO (product owner) and the development thread's CPO (chief product owner) to optimize the backlog and mitigate issues within the team.
• Participated in the SoS (Scurm of Scrums) with the SoSM (Scrum of Scrums Master) and other Scrum Masters to discuss and worked on project software development and Scrum issues; especially those with high return on investment for all Scrum teams.

• Software and systems development for the Connection Aviation Systems (CAS) business unit. Currently working on automating software packaging, build and deployment, system and software configuration for running mission-critical application software, and system maintenance or upgrades for air traffic control systems. Also supported other product teams within the Air Traffic Systems (ATS) department.
• Other work includes new software feature development, testing support, maintaining or updating lower-level or legacy programming languages, networking, driver and third-party software verification and integration, and computing systems setup and configuration automation. Additionally, he supported software conversion, deprecated or obsolete code sunset and removal, and migration for system/subsystem or service end-of-life.
• Achievements:

1. Matt took ownership of a prototype effort as a co-product owner and acted as his own Scrum Master. He wrote stories, managed the backlog, updated the senior stakeholders, and ran weekly Scrums. Using Shell, Python, C# with .Net, Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL), secure proxy and dev servers, and Jenkins, he was able to integrate a legacy, 27 year-old ATC (air-traffic control) system with an external, federal government cloud-based REST API service; a first for the project, opening the door for future cloud integration and/or service or subsystem(s) migration.

• Produced clean code to boost performance and incorporate new features with Angular and AWS Lambda, both using TypeScript and Node, and the work was majority front-end with some back-end serverless development.
• Consulted UI/UX design, platform, e2e testing, SRE, DevOps, back-end, and architectural teams to resolve development environment and integration issues and create action plans for developing and implementing new, full-stack features for federal government customers.
• Achievements:

1. Matt took on a front-end lead role to help project architects and management with client discussions, hiring, and onboarding, updating documentation in Confluence, delegating work, updating unit tests, sprint planning with Jira, scheduling deployment with Jenkins, running code reviews, and taking point on new features and bug fixes. This resulted in a reduced workload on understaffed managers and Scrum Masters, on-time code delivery, and completing client demos thus keeping product development on schedule.

• Worked with software development and testing team members to design and develop robust solutions to meet client requirements, primarily using C# and .Net Framework; some JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL work.
• Installed and configured software applications and tested solutions for functionality.
• Coordinated with other engineering disciplines (systems, electrical, and mechanical) to evaluate and improve software and hardware interfaces.
• Achievements:

1. Matt was initially assigned a sole developer for a project that involved reanimating a shelved solution then figuring out an SNC-developed, proprietary framework and creating missing documentation for the system configuration and startup processes before updating the solution for delivery. This resulted in a profitable outcome thus avoiding a loss for the company.

2. Completed around 115 hours of fieldwork over 10 days at a client site resolving system/software bugs and integrating new solutions onto an existing, segregated, and classified system that resulted in minimal end-user downtime and positive USDOD customer feedback.

• Worked with public clients to introduce new features and resolve architectural issues and system bugs for federal, state, and local clients.
• Participated in design and planning exercises for future cloud-based software rollouts using IBM Cloud and RedHat.
• Resolved system test and validation problems.
• Wrote code for mission-critical, database-driven (CRUD) REST application stacks, including full-stack development using JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Achievements:

1. Matt participated in external coding challenges and internal bids and proposals that included architectural design and full-stack cloud solution POCs for prospective federal clients, which included fast-paced Scrum and Agile development. This resulted in, regardless of the outcome, positive customer feedback and new RFPs.

2. He took on a role as a Co-Tech Lead for a mission-critical project (full stack) supporting Law Enforcement, EMS, and Fire. Reduced client and end-user costs and resolved IT issues, both on-prem and in the cloud-resolving application performance issues in the client.

3. Matt assisted with project tasks, documentation, proposals, and responding to system issues outside normal work hours. This resulted in the completion of missing documentation and filling in management gaps.

• Created, managed, printed, and modified drawings in AutoCAD.
• Attended team meetings to resolve technical and project issues.
• Recommended minor adaptations and modifications to complete working structural, system, marine, and electrical schematics.
• Achievements:

1. Reduced engineer workload and trip cost while in the field by taking measurements and marking schematics, suggesting changes to schedule, and reaching out to technical individuals via Q&A. This was done independently or under the direction of the assigned engineer.

• Computer and software sales and support.
• Seasonal.
• Achievements:

1. Matt helped reduce cost and customer stress by providing solutions for their computing, software, gaming, productivity, and home networking needs.

2. Assisted Geek Squad with computer and electronic troubleshooting and requests for IT sales and support.

3. Assisted management with reduction of loss due to theft and product waste; mainly with PC-related products and smart electronics.
